THE LAST OF THE ONE NIGHT STANDS

This video portrays the big-band era in American entertainment, profiling the Lee
Williams Band which, from 1938 to 1952, barnstormed throughout the Midwest, bringing
Swing music to rural America. Traveling by bus, the band played more than 3,500 one
night stands, including a record 362 nights in one year! Filmed at a thirty-year reunion
performance, the video includes interviews with band members, archival footage and
photos, and nostalgic performances of classic wartime tunes, to portray a golden era of
entertainment ended by the arrival of television.
